So Mrs. Tex wears the pants...

Seriously, give me a break. As an Angels fan, this drives the screw in extra-deep. We needed to keep Teixeira, and his WIFE telling him where to go ultimately decided against us?! His WIFE is the one brainwashing me into thinking Adam Dunn's a necessary signing?!

It's just too bad the Yankees are relying on a bunch of 35+ year olds to carry a big load. Damon's a leadoff hitter who's slowly losing speed, Jeter's not getting any younger (blasphemy to blast the golden boy, I know), Posada's 37 and was hurt last year, and Xavier Nady will come back to earth like he has with EVERY other team he's ever played for (mark it down: If he hits over .260, I will be tremendously surprised). Yeah, their starters are good, but Damaso Marte's going to have to shoulder a REALLY big load in an otherwise-mediocre bullpen. If he gets hurt, I do NOT trust Edwar Ramirez and Dan Giese to get the ball to Rivera, who's yet ANOTHER guy who's getting pretty old.
